Local Forms and Policies

Some states have hundreds or even thousands of court forms available for the public, but South Dakota's selection is much smaller.
Small claims forms are very simple and are available at any clerk of court office. Other forms that the court system has available
can be found at http://ujs.sd.gov and then click on the tab labeled “Forms.” A complete package of
statewide divorce or custody forms is not yet available, although a committee is working on it.

The Fifth Judicial Circuit has some local forms and policies that only pertain to our circuit.
